About Inkslingers

In an era where free speech is under fire from innumerable sources….we must forge ahead. Writers are the true thinkers in a time when thinking seems to be woefully underrepresented. They are the modern philosophers, the subversives, and the brutally frank. Inkslingers features the best in essay writing from around the globe. Our motto is, after all: A pen, some ink…and the whole, wide world.

“A writer, or any man, must believe that whatever happens to him is an instrument; everything has been given for an end. This is even stronger in the case of the artist. Everything that happens, including humiliations, embarrassments, misfortunes, all has been given like clay, like material for one’s art. One must accept it. For this reason I speak in a poem of the ancient food of heroes: humiliation, unhappiness, discord. Those things are given to us to transform, so that we may make from the miserable circumstances of our lives things that are eternal, or aspire to be so.” ― Jorge Luis Borges, Selected Non-Fictions
